Abstract
A drilling tool bit especially for use in taking core samples, has a hollow body 1 on one end face of which are disposed rough-surfaced blocks 4 of cutting material such as tungsten carbide. The blocks are spaced from one another around the end face of the bit and if desired the leading edges of the blocks can be reinforced by providing across them tungsten carbide slugs 5. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Drilling tool bit
This invention relates to a drilling tool bit.
According to the present invention there is provided a drilling tool bit having a hollow body for connection to a drilling tool, the body having an end face from which extend spaced upstanding blocks of cutting material having non-planar outer surfaces.
Preferably a strengthening member is provided at the intended leading edge of each block of the cutting material. Preferably also the strengthening members are of wear-resistant material and may be for example flats, or slugs, or tungsten carbide. The strengthening members preferably extend at least as far as the lateral edges of the block. The strengthening members may be brazed or otherwise secured to the body.
The blocks of cutting material may have their leading edges disposed on a stepped portion of the end face so as to increase the cutting effect on rotation of the body. In this respect the end face may be alternately stepped and tapered around its periphery so that the stepped portions are at the same height, the tapered portions returning the level of the end face to the bottom of the next step.
The body may be screw-threaded as with conventional tool bits for connection to a drilling tool, and is preferably cylindrical.
The body is preferably generally cylindrical and open-ended for fitment to a standard tool, and the bit of this invention is for especial use in taking core samples.
As a general rule it has been found that optimum results can be obtained when the ratio of the number of blocks of cutting material to the circumference of the body in inches is about 1:3, and when the blocks of cutting material extend about a inch from the end face of the body. The blocks are preferably equispaced. Thus for example with a cylindrical body 4- inch diameter (26 inch circumference) eight blocks of cutting material are provided equally spaced around the periphery of the end face. 12 blocks would be provided on a 36 inch circumference body.
Preferably the blocks of cutting material are separated from one another by apertures in the end face for passage of air.
An embodiment of the present invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a side sectional view of a tool bit of this invention; and
Figure 2 is a plan view of the tool bit of Figure 1.
The tool bit of the illustrated embodiment of the invention has a body formed from mild steel tube 148 inches in diameter screw-threaded at one end 2 for connection to a drill (not shown). An annular mild steel end cap 3 is welded onto the other end face of the tube 1 and has secured to its outer end face a series of eight spaced generally cuboidal tungsten carbide chips 4 in crystalline form presenting a rough and hard cutting surface for the bit. At the leading edge of each of the chips 4 there is set in and brazed to the cap 3 a tungsten carbide flat 5 measuring 9/16" x 5/16" x 1/8". These flats 5 extend laterally slightly beyond the extremities of the chips 4.
The outer end face of the cap 3 carrying the chips 4 is alternately stepped and tapered a shown in Figure 1, and the flats 5 form the leading edge of the steps with the chips 4 disposed above them so that the effective cutting face on rotation of the body is formed by the chips 4 and flats 5.
Ports 6 are provided in the end cap 3 between the chips 4 and open into the central space of the tube 1 through bevelled openings 7.
The overall length of the tube 1 and cap 3 is about seven inches.
In use, the tool bit is screwed on the free end of a drill and placed against material which is to be drilled. The drill is then rotated, causing the bit to rotate about its main axis and so that the chips 4 follow one another in circular motion. As the drill is advanced longitudinally, the chips 4 wear through the material being drilled, and in so doing the flats 5 and leading edges of the chips 4 contact the material, presenting a very hard and wear-resistant face to it.
The peripheral speed of the bit can be from 1 to 10 feet per second for best effect.
The drilling effectiveness is very great by virtue of the spaced relation of the chips 4 as the leading edges present sharp edges disposed generally at right angles to the direction of attack on the material.
In prior proposed drill bits where the cutting material is disposed around the entire periphery of the bit instead of in discrete chips the cutting action is less effective and the top surface of the cutting material tends to become smooth.
In this embodimen of the invention the chips 4 are provided on the tube 1 by welding, the welding rod itself being tungsten carbide.
The bit of this embodiment is effective in a wide range of materials to be drilled, and can be used to produce a good quality core of 3" diameter in for example, clay, soft shell, shale, micaceous shell, fireclay, soft sandstone, medium to hard sandstone, limestone, whinstone, mudstone and coal. It give a high degree of quality and performance at lost cost, and its penetration rates compare favourably with previously proposed bits. The cost per metre drilled is lower than existing bits.
